Congratulations to the Women’s League of Burma on 10 Years of Gender Activism!

IWDA would like to congratulate partner organisation, the Women’s League of Burma (WLB), on their 10th Anniversary! In celebration of WLB’s 10 years of gender activism they have published a booklet outlining their achievements: Building a Movement Within the Movement.

In order to increase the participation of women in the struggle for democracy and human rights, to build mutual understanding among all nationals and participate in the national reconciliation and development process, and to enhance the role of the women of Burma both at national and international levels, WLB was established on December 9, 1999. Currently, there are eleven member organisations.  

WLB believes firmly that the contribution of women in the struggle to bring about human rights, democracy and equal rights for all nationalities in Burma will have a great impact, and their participation in the national reconciliation and peace-building process is essential.
